The principal reason for the delay is the significant amount of additional work and in-depth procedures required to be performed by the Company and its external auditor as 2021 is the first year that [Sundial] is required to have an auditor attestation report on its internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”). This requirement to be SOX compliant is a function of the rapid growth in scale and level of corporate activity Sundial has achieved over the last two years. SOX compliance requires heightened levels of corporate controls and processes that will ultimately benefit Sundial shareholders through best practices in risk management.

[Sundial]’s auditor is completing its external audit and will be unable to issue an audit opinion before the end of March 2022 as previously expected. [Sundial] believes that there will be no restatement of previously released financial statements of Sundial.

[Sundial] has informed the staff of the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") about its anticipated delay of the Filings and has applied to the ASC pursuant to Part 4 of National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203") for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") pending the release of the Filings. If an MCTO is issued, Sundial intends to satisfy the provisions of the "alternative information guidelines" set out in NP 12-203, including the requirement to file bi-weekly status reports in the form of news releases containing prescribed updating information, until the Filings are made. An MCTO would not generally affect the ability of persons who are not directors, officers, or insiders of [Sundial] to trade in securities of [Sundial].

Alcanna Shareholders are encouraged to read the full text of Sundial's press release in respect of the Sundial Filings.

NASDAQ LISTING OF SUNDIAL SHARES

On August 12, 2021, Sundial disclosed that it was notified by the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") on August 9, 2021 that the bid price for the Sundial Shares did not meet the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per Sundial Share for the 30 consecutive business days from June 25, 2021 to August 6, 2021. At that time, the NASDAQ required Sundial to regain compliance by February 7, 2022. On February 8, 2022, Sundial announced that it had received an extension of 180 calendar days to meet this requirement of the NASDAQ. The extension will allow Sundial to regain compliance if the bid price for the Sundial Shares closes at or above US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days before August 8, 2022. Sundial has disclosed that it intends to monitor the closing bid price of the Sundial Shares and will, if necessary, implement available options to regain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement, including a reverse stock split.
